College, Financial Aid & Scholarship Resources

Your first step in applying for financial assistance is the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Provided by the office
of Federal Student Aid (a federally-funded program), this
application is widely used to determine a student's eligibility to
receive financial aid, what type of financial aid is available, and
how much a student can receive based on their financial need.

Here at Scholarships, Inc., we use the FAFSA and Student Aid
Report to determine whether a student has financial need. Both of
these materials must be uploaded when filling out your
application.
